How many is too many?

---Remember NonZealot, if you ever dare to mention that there are a few too many Apple apologists your bound to be accused of making a strawman argument---

I think that if you're going to make claims like this, you need to be able to back them up. How many is "too many"? Can you give us a statistical comparison based on real-world numbers? Given that there are more than 20 times more Windows users than Mac users, shouldn't there realistically be many more Windows apologists than Mac apologists? How come you never complain that there are too many Windows apologists when they likely outnumber their Mac brethren?

Oh, and the reason that this argument is often called a strawman is because when it is made, the person making it is usually the first one mentioning any claim that the Mac is completely invulnerable. There's always some mythical invisible Mac user they're referring to, but they never seem to directly reference or quote a specific person who claims that Apple's products are 100% without any flaws. Even if you say "some" users and not "all" users, you still need to provide proof of that "some".
